Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring is a method of measuring blood pressure at regular intervals over a 24-hour period, typically using a portable device.

ABPM provides a more comprehensive assessment of blood pressure throughout daily activities and sleep, offering insights into variations that may not be detected in clinic settings.

ABPM is recommended for patients suspected of having white coat hypertension, masked hypertension, resistant hypertension, or fluctuating blood pressure patterns.

The patient wears a small cuff attached to a portable monitor that automatically inflates and records blood pressure at regular intervals, usually every 15-30 minutes during waking hours and less frequently during sleep.

Most patients find ABPM comfortable, as the device is lightweight and designed for minimal disruption to daily activities. The cuff may inflate periodically but does not cause pain.

It is recommended after mastectomy or lumpectomy to restore the breast’s appearance and improve self-esteem and body image.

The Calcium Test helps diagnose and monitor conditions related to calcium imbalance, such as bone diseases, kidney disorders, and parathyroid gland dysfunctions.

No special preparation is required, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or supplements you are taking.

Results are typically available within a few hours to a day after the blood sample is collected.

Abnormal calcium levels can indicate various conditions, including bone diseases, kidney disorders, parathyroid gland dysfunctions, and certain cancers.
